Hi, I’m Lisa and I’m the Early Childhood Teacher at Poowong Uniting Kindergarten. I’m a mother and grandmother and am part of a dairy partnership with my husband, who has been a dairy farmer for over 30 years.
I’ve worked in early learning for over 30 years, 20 of which have been at Poowong Kinder.
Over this time, I have seen many changes to early learning and continually adapt with the times. The kinder team have worked to build Poowong Kinder as welcoming, progressive, and genuinely caring about and nurturing children’s learning and development. Every child we have the privilege to work with will have the best opportunity to reach their full potential and have a positive and fun experience at kinder.
Looking forward to meeting you in the future.
